The 76mm is a dual purpose gun. You should be able to use it on air or surface targets. If you watch "show truth" you'll see other ships shooting their guns at incomming missiles. My sense of things is that it's a long shot, but if you save your ship by a long-shot gun hit or a missile shot the end result is a good one. :-)
In my experience, the gun does not take into consideration the altitude of a contact. I tried shooting at a helo once, and the rounds splashed down in the water underneath it.

Even if there is a slim chance of a hit, why would you want to waste a decent chance of a hit with an SM-2?
